打破疆界的時代變革：數位遊牧的自由與挑戰

Abstract

新冠疫情之後，遠距工作逐漸成為常態，「數位遊牧」生活方式隨之興起，亦在臺灣萌芽。此種不受時間、地點限制，一邊旅遊一邊工作的生活方式，讓人們得以跳脫朝九晚五及傳統辦公室的束縛，重新思考生活的其他可能性。 然而，當人們離開了固定框架與熟悉體制，在時間、空間皆失去界線的去疆界生活中，自律、人際、財務等各方面的挑戰接踵而至。 工作與生活界線的模糊，導致自我管理變得困難，頻繁移動則使得人際關係維繫不易，而接案收入、工作機會的不穩定性，也為數位遊牧生活增添變數與壓力，反映自由背後暗藏挑戰。 本篇深度報導聚焦於臺灣數位遊牧者的生命經驗，旨在了解他們如何在臺灣社會文化下走上數位遊牧之路，深入理解其成為數位遊牧者的動機、生活實踐，以及在去疆界的自由生活中所面臨的諸多困境，並探討他們如何在自由與徬徨間持續追求自我實現與理想生活。

After the COVID-19 pandemic, remote work gradually became the norm, giving rise to the growing popularity of digital nomadism. This lifestyle, which allows people to travel while working without being bound by time or location, has also begun to emerge in Taiwan. By breaking away from the constraints of the traditional nine-to-five routine and office environment, it invites individuals to reconsider what alternative forms of life and work might look like. However, leaving behind familiar structures and institutional routines introduces a different set of challenges. In a lifestyle where the boundaries of time and space are blurred, individuals often struggle with self-discipline, maintaining relationships, and achieving financial stability. This in-depth report focuses on the lived experiences of Taiwanese digital nomads. It explores how they embark on this path within Taiwan’s unique sociocultural context, examining their motivations, everyday practices, and the difficulties they face in a borderless way of life. Ultimately, it considers how these individuals continue to pursue self-realization and an ideal lifestyle while navigating the uncertainties that come with freedom.
